1) Write A Blog

You might be thinking, gosh!, how on earth can I write a blog with a short space of time?

Before I answer that, I just want to explain why Blogging?

Blogging is one most important thing every business should do, big or small. Blogging provide Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) opportunity for your website because of the high text involvement. Also, when people stumble on your website, they are likely to stay longer reading your blog. Besides, blogging position you as the expert in your niche.

Back to the timing issue, you need to produce good content, but it is important to say away from perfectionism and train yourself to do this in stages. That is getting the topic, keywords, and then the writing part.

2) Schedule Social Media Post

Posting to social media can feel overwhelming at times. But doing it ahead of time – especially in batches – can make the whole process so much faster! I highly recommend using a social media management toolto schedule your posts. Not sure WHAT to post? Try a tool like Post Planner to find content that has already proven popular in your niche. Equally using Buzz-sumo, to find out social Media post that is liked, commented and shared most. This includes articles as well.

3) Comment on your audience comments

You can respond to A LOT of comments in one hour! Check your Facebook and Instagram comments, Twitter mentions and blog comments to see which ones need responses. And, don’t forget to respond to your social ad comments as well!Agorapulseis a GREAT tool for making sure you never miss a Facebook or Instagram ad comment again. Not only are you going to comment on your own post comments and response, but you will also take the opportunity to comment on other people’s post, including leaders in your niche.
